 | Biological Computation Subjects: Bioscience; Mathematics & Statistics; Physical Sciences; Bioinformatics; Applied Mathematics; Physics; Mathematical Biology; Biophysics; The area of biologically inspired computing, or biological computation, involves the development of new, biologically based techniques for solving difficult computational problems. A unified overview of computer science ideas inspired by biology, Biological Computation presents the most fundamental and significant concepts in this area. In the book Ehud Lamm is on the faculty of The Cohn Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Ideas at Tel-Aviv University. Along with his co-author, he previously developed a course on biological computation for the Open University of Israel. He earned his Ph.D. in philosophy of science from Tel-Aviv University. Ron Unger is a professor and head of the computational biology program at Bar-Ilan University. His current research is focused on protein folding models, genetic algorithms, analysis of biological sequences, and noncoding RNA molecules. He earned his Ph.D. from the Weizmann Institute of Science. |
